 OUTLOOK:   

The Tigers had a really nice run in 2013. The 2014 team should be stronger offensively and have tons of pitching depth. Willard returns 5 starting position players and 4 pitchers that had 15-innings or more in 2013. The seniors that will lead the way for the Tigers are Keaton Presley, Luke Latham, Nicklaus Hooper, and Nik Taylor. The junior class includes Blake Hobbs and Patrick Latham. Willard keeps spitting out prospects with an athletic sophomore class including Dalton Morrow, Kyle smith, and Jordan Stevens. Coach McGee is really excited for the 2014 season to begin and to coach his nice mix of experience and young talent.
